Polygamist Compound Removal Cases to Test State Civil Justice System
April 17, 2008
It’s all over the national news and is an especially hot topic here in Texas. The legal ramifications on Texas Family Law and other areas of Texas Law may be far reaching.
Here is an excerpt from John Councils article at Texas Lawyer:
Tom Vick is looking for about 100 lawyers willing to volunteer for what likely is the biggest family law case in Texas history.
Their mission will be to represent hundreds of children recently removed by Child Protective Services from a secretive polygamist compound in West Texas.
The removal petitions CPS filed on April 7 will test the state’s civil justice system in an unprecedented way because of the sheer volume of litigants, five family lawyers say.
As of Texas Lawyer’s presstime on April 10, CPS had filed 123 separate removal petitions in the 51st District Court, one of which is In the Interest of 330 Children From the YFZ Ranch, says Dean Rucker, presiding judge of the 7th Administrative Judicial Region, which includes Schleicher County. That’s where the “Yearning for Zion” ranch of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) is located.
Supreme Court Makes Landmark Decision, Sides With Texas
March 27, 2008
Don’t Mess With Texas… We’ve heard that a million times, but the World Court and the President of the United States are hearing it loud and clear after a recent Supreme Court Ruling. In a 6-3 decision the justices ruled that neither the World Court nor a directive from President Bush, designed to enforce a consular rights treaty signed by the United States, amounted to “enforceable federal law” that Texas is subject to.The case dates back to 2004 when the World Court, then known as the International Court of Justice, told Texas to review state convictions of 51 Mexican nationals who had not been informed of their rights under the treaty .Already, a wave of backlash against the decision is rolling through the legal and international community. Many claim the decision will put many more treaties in jeopardy and further erodes the standing of the United States in the global community. However, those close to the case of Medellin v. Texas are finally getting close to seeing justice served to a brutal murderer and applauded the decision. Medellin is currently on Texas death row. His fate will again rest in the hands of the Supreme Court as they are expected to make another ruling regarding lethal injection later this year.
